Qbgrey 3,983 Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Difficult mate you may be better with the advise of a planning expert, preferably one who’s worked for council as a town planner many of them leave and go to architects to help customers with planning permissions. I got turned down here for a bungalow in my field got a ex town planner involved £4000 later and a new bungalow design, change of location and twice the size of existing one hey presto got planning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Wyluke, I've no idea how to halt planning, being a pain in the ass for them will probably lengthen the time period and cost them a few quid, but the money in sustainable energy is immense and as we all know money talks!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
